“I feel like I have two new sisters, and their names are Leanne and Carol. Thank you, Leanne!”
That’s the kind of reaction viewers are having to Leanne, the new Netflix sitcom starring Leanne Morgan and Kristen Johnston, co-created by comedy legend Chuck Lorre. After just one day since the series dropped, fans are already eager for more episodes.
Netflix initially released eight episodes in advance to press, but with all 16 episodes now live on the platform, many viewers have already binged the entire season — whether in two sittings or one full marathon. And now, many are left wondering: Will there be a Season 2?
Has Leanne Been Renewed for Season 2?
As of August 1, the day after Season 1 premiered, Netflix has not officially renewed Leanne for a second season. But don’t panic just yet — Netflix typically takes a few weeks or even months to confirm renewals. So fans will need to sit tight a little longer.
When Could Season 2 Release?
The positive news is that Leanne is a multi-cam sitcom, and Chuck Lorre’s deep experience in traditional broadcast production could mean a quick turnaround. If renewed, a second season could realistically arrive by July 2026. Lorre, known for shows like The Big Bang Theory and Two and a Half Men, is no stranger to producing full seasons quickly — often with 22 episodes per year.
Who Stars in Leanne?
The show’s ensemble cast includes a mix of seasoned comedic actors and rising talent:
Leanne Morgan as herself
Kristen Johnston
Ryan Stiles
Tim Daly
Blake Clark
Celia Weston
Graham Rogers
Hannah Pilkes
Annie Gonzalez
Jayma Mays
What Is Leanne About?
According to Netflix, the show follows:
“When her husband leaves her for another woman, a resilient Southern mom starts over with the support of her loving, but unfiltered family.”
Is Leanne Based on a True Story?
No, the show is not based on a true story, despite its personal tone and the fact that Leanne Morgan plays a version of herself. In reality, Morgan has been happily married to her husband Chuck for 33 years. She also has a younger sister named Beth, but they do not live together, sitcom-style.
Fans may have to wait for Season 2 confirmation, but the love for Leanne — and the connection with its characters — is already strong. Stay tuned for updates as Netflix makes its decision.
